Lederman/Milbank Fellowships in Law and Economics
To foster research and study in the area of law, economics and business, each year eight 2L (or J.S.D.) students will be selected as Lederman/Milbank Fellows and will receive an $8,000 stipend. The stipend is awarded at the end of the program (which is at the end of the third year of law school).
Fellows are expected to write a substantial paper in law and economics or law and business that is supervised by a faculty member. The fellowship paper can be a paper written for a seminar or an independent research paper written under the supervision of a faculty member. Fellows are also expected to enroll, by the end of their 3L year, in a seminar or colloquium in the area of law, economics and business (including tax policy and innovation policy). Finally, they are expected to attend a noncredit workshop for the fellows where each student will present a draft of his/her paper (the workshop will meet four times) and to present their paper at a one-day symposium hosted by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, LLP.
The deadline for submitting fellowship applications is February 5. By this time your Fall 2008 grades should appear on the transcript that you must submit as part of your application materials. Fellowship applications should be submitted to Anan Mahone at Vanderbilt Hall, Room 411, or by email to anan.mahone@nyu.edu.
Further information and application forms can be found here on the website of the Center for Law, Economics and Organization.
